WOW!

I made it to the track tonight for some fun runs with my buddy. I took some pics/video, will have to post them.

1st pack, 1800mah, broke it in on that.
2nd, 5000mah, ran very good
3rd and 4th, 8.4v 3300mah NIMH's, getting crazy
5th, 2s lipo, INSANE! Wheelies, wheelies, wheelies! Also many spectacular crashes... I can't imagine 3s lipo, its just not necessary for a 1/10 scale vehicle. But I have one so I'll try it anyhow.


The truck held up very well! I am very impressed. I did hear some clicking from the motor/tranny area but it went away while I was checking it on the stand. Maybe it was just a pebble or somethig else stuck in the drivetrain. Will monitor the situation.

Also, the Castle 5700kv never got over 140 degrees or so, very pleased with the Castle stuff.

Very good,Just keep a eye on the temps.
